עמוד 3 - ON THE NATURE OF THE SCHOLAR, AND ITS MANIFESTATIONS. By Johann Gottlieb Fichte. Translated from the German by William Smith. Second Edition. Post 8vo, pp. vii. and 131, cloth.
עמוד 3 - Ridicule, of the best that could be commanded, has been already tried against him ; but it could not avail. What was the wit of a thousand wits to him ? The cry of a thousand choughs assaulting that old cliff of granite : seen from the summit, these, as they winged the midway air, showed scarce so gross as beetles, and their cry was seldom even audible.
עמוד 5 - The Life of Jean Paul Fr. Richter. Compiled from various sources. Together with his Autobiography. Translated from the German. 2 vols.
עמוד 5 - ... imagination vague, sombre, splendid, or appalling; brooding over the abysses of Being ; wandering through Infinitude, and summoning before us, in its dim religious light, shapes of brilliancy, solemnity, or terror : a fancy of exuberance literally unexampled; for it pours its treasures with a lavishness which knows no limit, hanging, like the sun, a jewel on every grass-blade, and sowing the earth at large with orient pearl.
עמוד 10 - PHILOSOPHICAL EXPOSITION OF THE DIVINE INSTITUTION OF REWARD AND PUNISHMENT, WHICH OBTAINS IN THE PHYSICAL, INTELLECTUAL, AND MORAL CONSTITUTIONS OF MAN. " Like the speculatist in her ' Sick Room,' the essayist before us makes much more account of Being than of Doing.

עמוד 9 - It has, indeed, with regard to himself, in its substance, though not in its arrangement, an almost dramatic character ; so clearly and strongly is the living, thinking, active man projected from the face of the records which he has left. " His spirit was a battle-field, upon which, with fluctuating fortune and singular intensity, the powers of belief and scepticism waged, from first to last, their unceasing war...
עמוד 3 - Fichte's opinions maybe true or false ; but his character as a thinker can be slightly valued only by such as know it ill; and as a man, approved by action and suffering, in his life and in his death, he ranks with a class of men who were common only in better ages than ours.
עמוד 7 - It is really purifying to be able to turn, at this moment, to anything righteous and generous from an American on Slavery and Great Britain, so as to be relieved from the scorn and loathing produced by Mr. Calhoun's Letter to the American Minister at Paris.
עמוד 12 - It is not often our good fortune to meet with a book so well conceived, so well written, and so instructive as this. The various phases of the national mind, described with the clearness and force of Mr. Tayler, furnish inexhaustible material for reflection.
